Configuring Telnet Software; Connecting A Console Cable To Your Router - Netopia 4522 T1 Getting Started Manual

Configuring Telnet software
If you are configuring your router using a Telnet session, your computer must be running a Telnet software
program.
If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows, you can use a Windows Telnet application or simply run Telnet
from the Start menu.
If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the NCSA Telnet program supplied on the Netopia 4522
CD. You install NCSA Telnet by simply dragging the application from the CD to your hard disk.

Connecting a Console Cable to Your Router

You can perform all of the system configuration activities for your Netopia 4522 through a local serial console
connection using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows 95, 98, 2000, or
NT on the PC, or ZTerm, included on the Netopia CD, for Macintosh computers.
The Netopia 4522 back panel has a connector labeled "Console" for attaching the Router to either a PC or
Macintosh computer via the serial port on the computer. (On a Macintosh computer, the serial port is called the
Modem port or Printer port. Newer Macintosh models have USB ports, so you may need a third-party adapter.)
This connection lets you use the computer to configure and monitor the Netopia 4522 via the console screens.

If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT, you can use the HyperTerminal
application bundled with the operating system.
If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the ZTerm terminal emulation program on the supplied
Netopia 4522 CD.
